[Python-projects] There is a failure during pylint version 0.16.0installation

[Huurne, Maarten ter]

>   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pylint-0.16.0-
> py2.4.egg/pylint/test/input/func_continue_not_in_loop.py",
> line 8

> SyntaxError: 'continue' not properly in loop

This type of error happens if an install process tries to byte compile the pylint test cases. These test cases are intended to test whether pylint finds errors, so they contain errors by design. The solution would be to not byte compile them, or maybe bypass the problem by not installing the test cases.

That one I didn't see before. However, I always install using "python setup.py install", not via eggs.

Bye,
                Maarten
